This paper does not attempt to enter the fray of whether Spain is ‘a multilingual country’ (Siguan 1992), ‘not strictly multilingual’ (Lodares 2006: 19-32) or ‘a country that presents itself as monolingual’ (Burgueño2002: 171 -192). The attempt here is to explore the use of the expression Spanish languages in different contexts, to know the languages designated as such, and what distinguishes them from the other languages in Spain. The paper also examines suggestions for more visibility of the other languages whether they are official, co-official or minority languages in this era of globalization.
